you are overestimating the damage caused by higher sea level and severely underestimating the damage caused by moving the freshwater saltwater line. I live in the Netherlands where we're basacally set up for sea level rises and severe storms that could happen once every 10000 years. so we have plenty of margin.
But the movenement of the freshwater/saltwater line is something we cannot control and it has severe impacts on fishing and the ecosystem now.
- pmontra 4y agoAgreed. Maybe my use of infrastructure is improprer. I meant it to encompass farmland. We had problems with the salt wedge underground when the Po river had not enough water this summer, the sea entered the river mouth for kilometers and farmers couldn't pump fresh water from underground because it got salty.
